I’m using a reasonably standard setup to have a left menu with a nested view or two in the content area. Trouble is, I keep running into this intermittent bug where the back button appears when it shouldn’t. It’s difficult to reliably repro but usually if I’ve gone from my list through to the detail page, submitted a chat message and then gone back and to the profile page, the back button shows up like abad smell 
I’m going to try some more to get a more concrete repro but if anyone has come up against this before and has some tips, I’d love to hear them.
